Key takeaways
- Disclosure: ChaChaCha is a POS vendor, powered by AppsPOS, so we compete with Qashier and with every alternative on this page. We only used information published on each vendor’s own website as of September 2026.
- Qashier is a strong, simple option: one published price of $5 a day (excluding GST) for the whole platform, terminals from $0.80 a day, and no lock-in contract.
- Businesses usually look elsewhere because of a specific need, such as module-by-module pricing, no monthly fee at all, a larger setup per store, or hardware and support bundled by one local team.
- The six alternatives below are grouped by who they suit, not ranked. Confirm every price and term with the vendor, including us.

How we compared (and who wrote this)
ChaChaCha is a point-of-sale system for Singapore businesses, powered by AppsPOS Pte. Ltd., a Singapore POS company operating since 2013. We sell POS systems, so read this page with that in mind. We wrote it because “Qashier alternatives” is a common search, and we think a fair answer is more useful to you than a sales pitch.
Our rules:
- Vendor websites only. Every feature, price and term for another vendor comes from that vendor’s own Singapore site, linked where we use it. Where we could not find something, we write “not stated on their website”. That means we could not confirm it, not that it is missing.
- No ranking. We have not run every system in a live outlet, so we group options by “best for” rather than scoring them.
- Dated. Everything was checked in September 2026. Prices and plans change, so confirm before you sign.
If you are not tied to Qashier and just want a broad view, start with our wider comparisons: best POS systems in Singapore, best F&B POS systems and best POS for small businesses.
What Qashier offers
Qashier is an all-in-one platform for F&B, retail and e-commerce, beauty and services, and events and pop-ups. Its pitch is simplicity: one plan with everything switched on, rather than tiers and add-on modules. Qashier describes itself as a licensed Major Payment Institution regulated by the Monetary Authority of Singapore, and it lists local support seven days a week.
Published pricing. Qashier’s Singapore pricing page lists $5 a day, excluding GST, for the whole platform. Terminals are optional daily add-ons with nothing upfront: QashierXS at $0.80 a day, QashierX2 at $1 a day and QashierXL SLIM at $1.50 a day. Its POS page lists QashierKiosk at $2 a day. The X2 “becomes yours after two years”, and if you pay two years upfront the terminal is included. If you already own a device, Qashier states you pay only the $5 a day. Card processing rates are quoted separately.
What the $5 covers, according to Qashier: the full POS with table and inventory management, payments by card, PayNow and e-wallets, 0% commission online and QR ordering, kitchen display, GrabFood and foodpanda integration, Shopify and WooCommerce sync, loyalty, automated email marketing, Google review collection, bookings, invoices, automated mall GTO submission and daily sales sync to Xero and other accounting tools. The plan includes up to three devices per store (terminals, kitchen displays and kiosks), up to three back-office logins and up to ten staff accounts. The POS page lists offline selling (“keep selling, sync later”).
Contract. Qashier states there is no lock-in: it is a daily subscription you can cancel any time. On a day with no takings, the daily charge carries over to your next settlement.
Who it suits. Small and mid-sized cafés, quick-service outlets, shops and salons that want one predictable price, delivery apps in the same order queue, and loyalty tied to payments, without buying hardware upfront. For retail shops, our Qashier vs Shopify POS comparison goes deeper. For user feedback, read our summary of Qashier reviews.
Why businesses look at alternatives
Most people who search for Qashier alternatives are not unhappy with Qashier. They have a particular need and want to check the market. Common reasons, framed as needs:
- If you only need a few tools, an all-inclusive daily price may not match how you want to pay. Qashier versus FoodZaps sets it against tiered monthly plans for small F&B outlets. Module-based vendors let you pay for the POS first and add kitchen display, kiosk or loyalty later. Our Qashier vs Eats365 comparison shows the two approaches side by side.
- If you want no monthly or daily software fee, a per-transaction model such as HitPay’s may suit a low-volume counter better.
- If one store needs more than three devices, more than three back-office logins or more than ten staff accounts, ask Qashier how its multi-outlet and franchise offering is priced, and compare that with vendors that price per device or per outlet.
- If you want to own hardware outright, or have one vendor supply, install and service the whole setup on-site, compare quote-based vendors that bundle hardware.
- If your workflow is very specific, such as recipe-level ingredient deduction, Chinese-language kitchen tickets or a particular payment acquirer, test that exact workflow in each vendor’s demo. Our restaurant POS comparison lists what to check.
- If you use a different delivery or logistics partner, check which integrations each vendor states, because they differ.

Comparing costs fairly
Qashier’s price is easy to read: $5 a day is about $150 over a 30-day month, plus $1 a day for an X2 terminal, before GST and card processing. For the full plan and fees, see our Qashier pricing guide. Module-based vendors can come in lower or higher depending on how many modules and devices you run. For example, a Dinlr outlet with one POS, one KDS and online ordering adds up to S$197 a month on annual billing from its published prices, before hardware. Our Qashier vs Dinlr comparison sets the two side by side. See Dinlr pricing in Singapore for its published fees. HitPay has no fixed fee, so its cost rises and falls with your sales. Quote-based vendors, including us, will only give you a number for your setup.
Compare on a full first-year basis: software, hardware, payment processing, setup and GST. Our POS pricing models guide explains daily, monthly, per-transaction and quote-based pricing, and the POS cost calculator helps you estimate your own figure.
Grants. According to Enterprise Singapore, PSG closes on 29 September 2026 and business grant support moves to the EDGE Grant from 30 September, with support levels that differ by activity. AppsPOS has been a PSG pre-approved vendor and is approved under the EDGE Grant. Ask each vendor how its package fits under EDGE, and see our grant guide.
Switching from Qashier
Qashier’s no-lock-in daily subscription makes the software side simple to stop. Check these points before you move:
- Terminal terms. Qashier states the X2 becomes yours after two years at $1 a day, and is included if you paid two years upfront. Its pricing page does not say what happens to a rented terminal if you cancel earlier, so ask Qashier in writing.
- Data export. Qashier’s pricing page does not cover data export, so ask Qashier support which lists and reports you can download, and in what format, before you cancel. Aim to take your product list with prices and modifiers, customer and loyalty records, stored-value balances, and sales history for your records.
- Loyalty balances. Decide how you will honour points, credits and packages customers already hold. Most vendors can import balances; confirm the file format with the new vendor.
- Delivery and payments. Plan the day you reconnect GrabFood and your payment terminal, so no orders or settlements fall between systems.
- Overlap. Run the new system alongside the old one for a few days if you can, and switch on a quiet day.
Our step-by-step guide on how to switch POS systems without disrupting service covers the full cut-over plan.
How to choose
- Write down why you are looking. Price model, device limits, a missing workflow or support. That tells you which of the options above to shortlist.
- Shortlist two or three. Match your format with our restaurant, F&B or small business comparisons.
- Demo with your real menu or catalogue. Include your busiest-hour order, a split bill and a delivery order.
- Pull the network cable. See what still works offline.
- Price the first year in full, including hardware, processing and GST.
- Read the contract. Length, cancellation, hardware ownership, support hours and data export on exit.
- Get everything in writing from each vendor, including us. If you would like to see ChaChaCha with your own menu, book a demo.
